Therefore, the County will be reconstructing portions of County Road D and Edgerton Street to more of an urban section roadway versus the rural section which currently exists. The Public Works 'Director indicated that the drainage ditches will continue to exist to some degree, even though storm sewer will be installed. Concrete curb and gutter will be a part of the road reconstruction. The Public Works Director noted that given the road reconstruction, this is an opportunity to install a section of water main along County Road D. When the remainder of County Road D is reconstructed in the future, this small section of dead end water main will be looped. The Public Works Director informed the Council that City staff conducted a neighborhood meeting on this improvement project at which the potential for assessing these improvements was reviewed. Fahey noted that the road reconstruction portion of the project is a County project which will go forward whether the City puts in the water main or not. Fahey agreed that this was a good opportunity to install the water main while the road is under reconstruction. To add the water main later would involve the tearing up of a newly reconstructed roadway. Fahey felt that the question for the Council was whether or not to assess for the road reconstruction. He agreed that the water main improvement should be assessed. Fahey noted That the County is undertaking the road reconstruction and that typically the City has not assessed for the improvement of County
